What Is a Sponsored Wildlife Challenge?
A sponsored wildlife challenge on AnimalDex is a free-to-join, time-boxed campaign with published objectives and achievement rewards. It is not a sweepstake, not PvP, and not cash-live.

A campaign, not a battle
In the AnimalDex app, Challenges means sponsored campaigns. Collectors join at no cost, accept the rules, and work toward an objective. Apple is not a sponsor of those Challenges.
The public website’s /challenges URL is different: it redirects to animal-versus-animal comparison pages. Do not treat those SEO pages as this product.
What you can require
Unique indexed animals, qualifying capture count, or active capture days. Optional live-only captures, import blocks, Grade floors, type or setting tags, and a venue radius.
What you cannot run today
Paid entry, random winners, prize pools, or live cash grants. Those are out of scope. Achievement rewards are the live completion mark.
Quick questions
